The break Down!

2009-03-16T17:01:00.000-07:00

Ok so i had my last indoor soccer game this last Saturday and brynn couldn't play because she injured her ankle in our outdoor game. So we get to driving and i realize i don't have my indoor shoes and remember that they are in my P.E. locker. So my dad drives us up to the school and i got them. but we had to turn the alarm back on. And of course it wouldn't turn on. So it put us about ten minutes behind. We would probably be on time to the game. So we finally set the alarm and leave the school. Then were driving on the freeway and like maybe half a mile before the Summerlin Parkway ramp exit we start hearing this weird banging noise! I thought it was the car across from us and so i start making fun of that car and they were looking at our car! so then we keep driving and i realize it was our car! haha that's what i get for laughing! so were almost off the ramp when smoke starts cumin out of the front of our car!! and were bumping down the road and my dad pulled over! we were lucky enough to see the Crowley's who were also goiong to the indoor soccer place. but they were on the opposite side of the freeway! So that put us behind schedule about 5 to 7 minutes. It took us FOREVER to cross the freeway! So then we safely got to my soccer game and beat the She daisies! i mean She devils AGAIN!!!!! haha my dad always calls them the she daisies!! lol well good bye:)

Soon to be SUMMER!!!!

2009-03-16T16:37:00.000-07:00

Well hello:) I know its spring but I just cant wait till summer!! Its kinda ridiculous that I've already ordered my swim suit. And P.S. At limitedtoo.com, which has now become "Justice," there is at least 5 Cute 1 piece swimsuits!! Surprising huh!!?? I also can't wait till summer cuz I get to tan! Hallelujah!! Because I am whiter than a ghost!! haha and even though people already don't think I'm Mexican, now they really don't believe me when I say I'm mexican:) But not Brynn because she always looks mexican! Lol And every time i think of Summer, it takes me to high school musical 2 when they're in the drama room and everyone says "Summer! Summer! Summer!" haha well those are just some thoughts about summer even though it's still Spring!

P.S. Aunt Kara I can't wait to swim in your POOL!!!

Sorry. Again!!!

2009-03-11T21:15:00.000-07:00

Well this is Kara and i just have to say that i am THE WORST BLOGGER EVER!! it all started after Christmas. When i blogged Thanksgiving and Christmas in January... to blogging our new bedrooms a month late when Aunt Stephanie reminded me about them... to now when i haven't blogged since!!!!! Lol well as i write in all my post, I'm just busy!!! Ok. not always. sometimes i just don't to so you see the same stuff for two months. haha so IM SORRY!

I do have some new things to say though. and it just makes me want to cry! Cool Breeze, my soccer team, we haven't lost a game for i would say about 3 seasons, including indoor. But this is where it all ends. Last Saturday, we had an indoor game against a team called Just Friends. So we came on the field pretty confident! You would have thought we were gonna win all until they take the ball down the field and score. and they didn't do it only once... but twice in the 1st quarter. So you picture girls that are older than us and much bigger. There was also this one girl who made me, and my dad, very angry. She would come up to me and ram her whole body, elbows included, into my sides! OUCH!! And of course after a couple times of the reff not saying anything, what did i do? I rammed her back!! haha I'm so mean! but you don't push me or you will unexpectedly get somethin' back! haha So this one time I was going down the field, I saw the girl coming toward me, i decided to kick the ball past her, thought i could get around her.... then BBBAAAAMMMMM!!!! I'm slammed into the wall! That made me furious!! So i gave her a dirty look, walked away, she smiled as she walked to the reff's box, my dad yelled at her that it wasn't funny, and we got a free kick!! But still we lost!!!! 6 to 4. Ridiculous. So thats my sad story! Cool Breeze lost their first game in three seasons!

2009-02-01T20:22:00.000-08:00

Well Im sorry that we haven't blogged since Christmas!! BTW this is Kara! We have been ridiculously busy! haha So the boys are in "wrastlin" as we call it! and they have been doing pretty good!! this last weekend, Jake, Drew, and Nate all had tough matches! Jake ended up taking 4th place and Drew took either 6th or 7th, and Nate took 5th I believe! Jake i would say had the toughest match out of the three. It was against this kid who wore a spiderman singlet last wrestling season so since then, to our family, he has been known as "Spidey"!! haha even though he doesn't even wear that singlet anymore!! Lol He and Jake had a GREAT match. they were tied in the last round so they went to sudden death!! whoever scored first won the match. Jake got the take down and won the match!! We all were screaming so loud and made fools of ourselves!! haha but we dont care cuz jake won! and its just too bad that we didnt get any pictures of jake wrestling cuz he wrestles like a PRO!!!!! No lie!! haha he got me in the cradle about ten times this morning!! haha that just means im a wimp!! lol So then after wrestling we went to Chili's! it was good and apparently Drew loved it!! here are some pics of Drew chowin down on some ribs and of the boys wrestling!!

So as You can see Drew and I love RIBS!!!! ha ha

We also scared the PATUTIES out of Geej with the scary lady!! we got 'er good!! ha ha we took her to grandma jill and poppy's house and stuffed her with pillows and blankets and set her on the toilet in the downstairs bathroom! haha geej almost had a HEART ATTACK!!!haha we scared her so bad she cried!! haha

So the Brinks came over while we were redoing our rooms and Kenzie got into Brynnie's swimsuites!! haha she is soooo cute!! haha

So here we are at pack meeting when uncle Kelly, the greatest cub scout leader in the world, says were gonna play a game! haha so he tells everyone to tie a balloon to to their ankle and everyone has to step on eachother's balloon!! i know it made me tired!! lol and my dad!! he was out of breath!! can you imagine that!?

Christmas Eve!!!

2008-12-28T15:36:00.000-08:00

On Christmas eve we went to Grandma Jill & Poopy's house. It was fun seeing everyone together!! We started a new thing where everyone picks a name and that is the person that they have to give a present to. This year was very peaceful not having to carry so many presents and the little kids didn't keep going over to Grandma saying "Where's my other present?'' But we all had a fun time:) First we had a wonderful dinner, then we just kinda sat around and talked, then Grandma read us a story about the true meaning of Christmas, and then we gave and opened presents, then whoever wanted root beer floats got one, and then we went home!! it was a FUN night!!! we all slept together in Brynn's room!! BTW I don't have the pictures from grandmas house so thats why I'm just explaining everything. ha ha and this is kara:) so then we woke up and had a GREAT time the next morining!!

Christmas Day with the Bowdens!!

2008-12-28T14:35:00.000-08:00

Well this Christmas has been kinda different. But good different. It just didn't seem like Christmas til it actually was Christmas. But it just wasn't the same. Like we didn't decorate the tree together as a family, we didn't go caroling like we always do, and people didn't even get Christmas cuz people were losing their jobs. But the Christmas spirit finally started to kick in on Christmas eve!!! ha ha we had a fun time with the family!! here are some pics:)

Dad got an iPhone and Brynn and I got some clothes. As my mom, aunt Jenna and Poopy call it, "My dad joined the CLub!!" The iPhone club! ha ha they say that my mom is the President, Poopy is the V.P., and Jenna is the Secretary!! ha ha! Oh and don't forget about mom!! She got LOADS of clothes!!!!! And a bunch of running stuff.

Are you guys married?

2008-12-27T17:37:00.001-08:00

So Brynn, and Danielle, and I, were baby sitting the Brinkerhoffs and the Iversons yesterday. It was a lot of fun and we had some good times:) So it comes time for dinner and Brynn, Rylee Iverson, Kenzie Brinkerhoff, and I were in the kitchen. I was cooking mac & cheese and brynn was doing the dishes or something like that. And Kenzie and Rylee were eating their dinner. So then Kenzie says, "Brynnie how old are you?" and Brynn says 13. Then she says "Kara how old are you? and I say 12. And she opened her mouth like I was so old!! Then she goes "Are you guys married? ha ha Brynn and I started l laughing so hard!! Kenzie, she is toot bum!!! lol

2008-12-10T16:26:00.000-08:00

Decorating the Tree!!!

2008-12-10T16:18:00.000-08:00

Here is my mom decorating the Christmas tree!! The lights on the top of our tree don't work so my mom got a light strand and wrapped it around the top. :) This Christmas has been kinda weird. It seems different than all the other Christmases that we've had cuz like my mom was the only one who decorated the house, and just stuff like that!! But we didn't forget the EGG NOG!!!!!! and hallelujah!!! I am the only one in my family that really likes egg nog!! I think it's DELICIOUS!!! ha ha
